Just saying...This isn't an accident or purely "luck." They're paying some very smart people a lot of money. It worked.

This seems like major overkill. But, cool "collection."

What are the chances that the original releases get re-released with the continental sole? I'm thinking not very likely, but hoping they do.

Been discussed a bit here many pages back but I think they'll do a colorway that sort of references the OG black/purp but not an exact replica.
We're already getting a redone all white, GS sizes have started popping already and men's are supposedly coming in May.
We're supposedly getting a full core black w/ black boost midsole in the spring too.
So the answer is sort of yes and no, we're getting colorways that are super close to the OGs but not exact recreations w/ continental sole slapped on em. At least not yet.

I feel like the closest you'll get is that sample shoe that's on the Mystery Grey boxes.

Go back and look at the marketing from the release period. Theres truth to what your both saying, the UB started as a pure performance runner but it gained a little traction as a street shoe for a range of reasons the "very smart people being paid a lot of money" did a great job of fanning the flames of hype once it got rolling.
Like most things in life it was equal parts acumen and luck.

Black and purple re-release would be a dream. Unlikely, but hoping it happens.

Yeah no worries, definitely too many pages to keep up with everything.

i get what youre saying, but im pretty sure from the get-go they never had these expectations or plans.
then when the OG 750 dropped in February they saw the impact and said lets try this with other shoes we have.
they pretty much took Nike's model of Jordans and restocks and have applied it to UBs.

Thats actually not a bad price at all... I would do the same if I find my size.

Thanks!! I was on the fence about the MG's but after getting them, they surprisingly look pretty nice. It looks to have the wool material but the primeknit color is what gives it that "wool" look.
